I am however, very jealous of Packet's network.

I have been quite pleased since I purchased my Cisco SRW2016 switch a few months back. I got it at an auction for $150.00 and it has been beautiful. I had been looking for gigabit switch with layer 3 functionality for a year or so, but I didn't want to pay $900.00. It has built in 802.1x authentication protocol so even if someone hooks into a RJ-45 jack in the guest room it isolates them on a private segmented network that can't interact with my LAN. I set the security up just like I would for one of my corporate clients. I use my NTOP box for monitoring bandwidth and network activity/security logging. NTOP has become my go to box for network analysis.

I actually built a small form pc (6in X 10in X 10in)running Ubuntu with NTOP that I bring with me whenever I go and start a security audit. Just a few perks is I have found people from within corporations committing espionage, as well as caught about a dozen hackers who were sticking their nose where it didn't belong in just the last year.
